As a lychee martini lover, they're harder to find the further away from Miami I get so I was so happy to see it here on the menu!! Several of the girls in our group decided we would split the sushi boat and it was a great decision. We all picked rolls we wanted and they came out so pretty and tasted really fresh. Some other girls ordered their own dishes and enjoyed them as well. One girl in our group ordered the birria ramen and she loved it. She said it was SPICY and the best ramen she's ever had. As a non- spicy person, I had to take her word for how good it was. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area! We were dressed up but it seems pretty casual.

This is a pretty big restaurant with a full dining side and then another side with a full bar. They have plenty of TVs in at the time they weren't playing NFL, but they were very flexible and immediately changed the channel to one of the main games. I was in the mood for a Michelada and sometimes even at Mexican restaurants it can be hard to find a quality version. However, this turned out to be a really good Michelada. Served in a major mug with a salted rim and a great mix of Tabasco bloody Mary and fresh limes, and oranges. In addition to a Mexican candied straw to stir it with. This was by far my favorite item of the night, even though I really enjoyed my food as well. I ordered the queso dip with cheese and salsa, and I also ordered a ceviche with mixed seafood. The ceviche was really fresh well proportioned and pretty good. I would've preferred a bit more lime juice, but this was still a great first bite. And yes, the sauce is legit here and the cheese dip was good as well. Chips are fresh and they keep them coming so definitely a spot. I will probably be watching more football at.

I'm not even sure I'd call those booths. Somehow, they managed to make them less comfortable than the stools at the bar. We ordered three different tacos, and every single one was overwhelmingly spicy. Not the kind of heat that complements the flavor, but the kind that completely destroys it. At that point, I couldn't tell whether the spice was masking the flavor or hiding the fact that there wasn't any to begin with. Oddly enough, everything seemed to be missing salt, except the chips and salsa, which had plenty. Unfortunately, the chips were burnt, so even that was a disappointment. Three stars for the friendly service, decent drinks, and especially the fantastic hostess. As for the food, I'd rather taste what I'm eating than have my taste buds assaulted into submission.

My husband found this spot last minute since it was just a short walk from our hotel. We arrived pretty close to the kitchen closing, and while they mentioned we could still order at the bar, our server, Miseal, graciously offered to seat us at a table and take care of us anyway. That level of hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. We kept it simple and shared the Octopus Salad and the Taleggio Pizza, and wow...every single bite was packed with flavor. The pizza, cooked in the wood-fired brick oven, had the perfect crispy yet chewy crust with rich, melty cheese. The octopus was tender, fresh, and beautifully balanced. It was honestly the best meal we had all weekend. I paired everything with a refreshing brut rose while my husband enjoyed a beer, and it couldn't have been a better way to end our Charleston trip. The atmosphere is stylish and lounge-like with a romantic feel...perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening after exploring the city. A huge thank you to Miseal for making us feel so welcome, even at the end of the night. Great food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience. This will absolutely be one of our first stops the next time we're in Charleston.

The menu had a lot of great options, to the point where I easily could have picked multiple dishes to try. For drinks, we ordered the Adeline cocktail, a Negroni, an espresso martini, and a special that was similar to a margarita. All of the drinks were well-balanced and enjoyable. The espresso martini was good, but pretty average -- nothing that really stood out compared to others we've had. For appetizers, we got the tuna crudo and a 1/2 lb of the roasted shrimp. Both were very good, but the shrimp specifically was incredible -- honestly some of the best shrimp we've ever had, and we go out to eat a lot. Next time, we'd probably just order that on its own as our appetizer. For mains, we had the swordfish and a special lobster ravioli. The ravioli itself was filled with corn and polenta, with about 2 ounces of lobster added on top. Both dishes were very good, nicely portioned (not too large), and beautifully presented. Service was great -- the staff and our waitress were friendly and took the time to explain everything. The atmosphere was also really cool and a bit different from your typical restaurant. At the very end of the meal, the waitress brought over two glasses of cognac and a flower for the women at the table, along with an explanation behind it (I won't spoil it so you can experience it yourself). It was a unique and memorable touch. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth visiting.

When we first arrived, we were seated outside under the tent area, but it was extremely hot and sunny. My mother-in-law has trouble seeing in bright sunlight, so we asked if there was any way we could move to a shadier spot. Our waiter immediately checked with the hostess and happily moved us without any issue at all, which we really appreciated. He was extremely accommodating the entire meal, answered all of our questions, and kept checking to make sure everything was good. The crab cake was probably the standout item for me -- almost entirely crab with basically no filler or breading and really great flavor. It's not a huge entrée portion by itself, but with appetizers it was definitely filling enough. The shrimp dish was also delicious and full of flavor, and the salmon appetizer was really fresh and very good too. The drinks were good as well. My pineapple daiquiri was MUCH stronger than I expected, but honestly still really good. As a nice Mother's Day touch, they were giving complimentary mimosas to guests walking in and also handing out red roses to all of the moms, which was really thoughtful. It is definitely on the pricier side, but not outrageous for Charleston brunch, especially considering the quality of the food and service. Overall we had a really nice experience and would definitely go back.
